The "New Engine" was on the television news. Please see this link https://kfor.com/news/great-state/th...6ACEaElQ7uyerM

I will be giving a seminar at 9:00 AM on Feb 18, 2023, at Hanford Auto Supply, Hanford, CA on the "New Engine", and happy to answer questions and address engineering concerns, John Lampl will be there to address manufacturing and QA concerns, and Tim McMaster will be there to talk about building engines 111 and 123 that are now in cars and you can hear them run.

Individual parts, cut-away parts, models, magazine articles about the "New Engine", seals, relief valves, special bolts, and an assortment of pistons will be on display for discussion.

There will be several Model A chapters in attendance and "Event Pricing" will be offered.

In addition to event pricing, shipping cost savings can be realized for orders placed at the seminar and shipped together to Hanford Auto Supply. This is a significant saving over having a delivery to a residential address.

I bet plenty of the general public who might have seen that item on the TV will have had no idea cars this old were still running, let alone how many. I wonder if Model A clubs over there might see an uptick in interest now.
When Terry brought out the new engine, plenty of people said that it would reinvigorate the movement. Any improved awareness of it by the public as a result of this news item has to be a good thing and something else to thank Terry for. JMHO.

Keep it under your hat or you will all be classed as hot rodders and that means engineering here.

No , Arnold,
You guys live in the wrong state if an oil filter and distributor can be classed as modifications.

If China decides to send lethal arms to Russia, I am wondering if that will effect availability of items from there?
